VI. Suppose 5% of the population have a certain disease. A laboratory blood test gives a positive
reading for 95% of people who have the disease and 10% positive reading of people who do not
have the disease.
a. What is the probability of testing positive?
b. What is the probability that a randomly selected person does not has the disease given that this
person is testing positive?
Solution
PROBABILITY OF GETTING DISEASE ,P(A)=0.05
PROBABILITY OF NOT GETTING DISEASE,P(B)=(1-0.05)=0.95
LET E BE EVENT OF OCCURING POSITIVE READING
PROBABILITY OF GETTING POSITIVE READING who have the disease ,P(E/A)=0.95
PROBABILITY OF GETTING POSITIVE READING who DO NOT have the
disease,P(E/B)=0.10
A)the probability of testing positive,P(E)
B)the probability that a randomly selected person does not has the disease given that this person
is testing positive,P(B/E)
FROM BAYES THEOREM
P(B/E)=P(B)*P(E/B)/[P(B)*P(E/B)+P(A)*P(E/A)]
=[0.95*0.10]/[(0.95*0.10)+(0.05*0.95)]
=[0.095]/[0.095+0.0475]
=0.667
HENCE,P(B/E)=0.67
